for your r. Now ou the answers. away! the first question is 'Where did 's not hard. My companion, Hugh Nind, : Y a circular wip so that we would nok have 10 cov ' e territory twice. In general our trip embraced the Kawartha Lakes, Haliburton County, Algonquin Park and Mus. oka District. Suppose we take this map and I'll point out the routetoyou, ; Fis : Starting at Port Perry we followed the Trent Canal System through Sturgeon and Cameron Lakes to the upper end of Balsam Lake at Coboconk. The Gull River empties into Balsam Lake here, We followed this river northward past the villages of Norland and Minden through a series of lakes and rivers till we reached the headwaters at St. Nora's Lake. Beyond this we traversed three small lakes, going north-east till we struck Hollow Lake, Here it is, almost due east of Dorset on Lake of Bays. It is also called Kawagama Lake, ha : From the north-east corner of Hollow Lake we followed a chain of small lakes into Algonquin Park. See. Here they are. Kim- ball Lake, Boundary Lake, Porcupine Lake, Smoke Lake, Canoe Lake, Joe Lake Station marked on that railway line, is just a mile or 80 up the river from Canoe Lake. It was the most north- erly point of the trip; : Coming back we followed the Ox-Tongue river out of Canoe Lake, down through Ox-Tongue Lake to Lake of Bays. = At Bays- ville, in the southwest corner, the lake empties into the South Branch of the Muskoka River. We followed this down past Bracebridge to Lake Muskoka. From Lake Muskoka a chain of small lakes to the south brings you into the Severn River. From here it is no trick to follow the Trent System back through Spar- row Lake to Orillia on Lake Couchiching. Our trip ended here and we came home via No. 12 highway with the canoe on the top of the car. 2 : REPORTER: But surely all these lakes are not connected. You must have had to make a lot of portages. \ CANOEIST: We did--fifty-six of them to be exact. Some were overland between lakes; others were around rapids and falls _ in the rivers. They varied in distance from a few rods to three miles, and in character from good gravel roads to trails blazed through dense woods. wv REPORTER: That long did it take you? : : CANOEIST: It's rather difficult to judge the distance. For instance it is only sixteen miles from Tea Lake Dam to Ox-Tongue Lake as the crow flies but about thirty miles by the meanderings of the river. 'We estimate that we paddled about three hundred miles, through forty-one lakes all told. We were away twenty- three days, about twenty of which were actual paddling. - REPORTER: You must have seen some beautiful scenery. Can't you describe it for me? : CANOEIST: Not very well. It must be seen to be appre- + ciated, Almost every few hundred yards would need a new description. REPORTER: Aren't there any scenes that stand out in your memory? CANOEIST: Oh yes! Kushog Lake in the Gull River chain about twenty miles north of Minden impressed me Very much. It is a long narrow lake, with high rocky shores. The echoes in this district are phenomenal. Then there is the Ox-Tongue River flowing down from Algonquin Park to Lake of Bays. This river winds and winds through-a canyon of green trees and shrubbery. It is really a beautiful river although the eternal winding rather "got our goat." tui ! On the other hand we both voted the South Muskoka a splen- did river. It is a swift stream flowing through rotks. It is chock full of rapids and falls very pretty to look at, but mostly not navigable. : REPORTER: Did you see many animals? CANOEIST: Some. We came across innumerable poreu- pines. Every old cabin in the north has it porcupine. A couple of times we saw deer and one night we heard the wolves howl. While paddling-along the rivers we scared up countless ducks as well as loons and smaller birds. To our dissappointment we did not see a bear. We came across one on the Ox-Tongue River but i he crashed away through the woods before we could see him. * REPORTER: How about fish? There should be lots of 'them up there. : : L CANOEIST; Let's talk about something else. Fish are my sore point. However if you really want to know--there are plenty of fish there judging by what we heard, but we didn't catch a blooming one. Next! - . Ri : : REPORTER: Did you see any one You should have met a good many people. : . CANOEIST: Several people. Frederick and Harvey Bam- forth, whose father was a minister in Port Perry some years ago, caught up tous at St. Nora's Lake and Samped with us. They were asking about friends of theirs in Port. Up on Sparrow Lake 'we came across Bill Nesbitt, the son of the Chief. He spends his Summers up there. At Camp Ahmek in Algonquin Park I ran into several college chaps wh Sd must have been a pretty long trip. How you knew up that way? om I knew. edi you could give ie, any deta . What is| you an idea of a recent| | Port Perry Fair 1 Our Fair is to be held next Saturday, and everybody 11 in this district should be there, first to see the exhibits, | and second to meet your friends. ~ For many years the Port Perry, Reach and Scugog {1 Agricultural Society has carried on the Port Perry Fair to encourage better farming, and thousands of dollars have been paid out in prizes, The Fair is well worth our support, ; This district is noted for its excellent stock and fine farm products, and Port Perry Fair has always made a main feature of these exhibits, in this way carrying out * the chief purpose for which the rural fairs were instituted. It is specially desirable that those having good animals or articles to show should enter them at the Fair for exhi- bition. If all show who have good stock, farm products, fancy work. and flowers, we shall soon have a leading place among rural Fairs. It is pleasing to note the improvements which the Directors have made in the exhibition building, and to learn that more of the local business men intend to take advantage of the Fair to bring their goods to the attention of the public. This is a good idea, for after all we must do business with each other if our community is to pros- per. There is nothing like showing our best to help us do our best. Local business men have been giving good service, and the goods or services they offer are worthy of local support. . It is a fact worth noting that exhibits are to be made by the Scugog Girls' Home Garden and Canning Club, and by the Port Perry High School Manual Training Depart- ment. I congratulate the Scugog young ladies on the formation of their Club, and extend sincere good wishes for the success of their work, and the work of the young people in our High School. A number of forms of entertainment will be provided for the day, The girls will play softball. The boys are putting on a hardball tournament. There will be horse- shoe pitching for our experts. Trials of speed will hold the attention of horse lovers. Bert Johnson, entertainer, is to provide the fun and the thrills. I invite you most cordially to our Fair on Saturday.

To start from Huntsville, paddle into Lake of Bays and down the South Muskoka River to Bracebridge is an ideal short trip. Watch the rapids of the river though. ' Now for cottages. If I were interested I'd investigate the lakes of the Gull River system especially Kushog Lake. These are easily accessible by car and unequalled for beauty, clear, refresh- ing waters, and enticing trees. Ox-Tongue Lake north of Lake of Bays has recently been opened up by a new road.

On Tuesday evening Mr. Ray Bartley's residence, on the 9th Concession of Reach, was totally destroyed by fire. People seeing the fire from a distance thought the of house had been struck by lightning, as there was a storm going on at the time. The fire was caused, however, by a lamp that fell from the hand of a young girl, when she ed over a mat. Everything was destroyed by fire, even the children's clothing. There was some insurance, ut not nearly enough to cover the loss. bh pl TT aad o-- : ; a ANNIVERSARY AT MANCHESTER Manchester United Church will hold anniversary services on September 18th and 20th.
